Let's say you woke up tomorrow and decided to stop talking...


How do you think this would effect your life? Would it be a positive or negative influence on your existence? How long would it be before you had to start speaking again?


I'm interested to know.

My name is Shayne Brandel, and I'm an artist living in Nelson B.C. Canada. On March 6th 2010 I stopped talking. I do not know how long my silence will last.

To archive the experience, I am making one small work of art each day. The pieces will be cataloged on this blog.

Welcome to the Silence Project.

DAY 18

Stage of awkward interaction

1 comment:

  1. Ahhh. The awkward interaction. Usually, I feel this happen because I have opened my mouth. It's primarily this scenario that propels me to contemplate your endeavor. I would truly love to do what you are doing. This is not the right time for me... But I will take a 'retreat' this year, where I can be silent and just think. It is a gift to have the sheer will and resilience to pursue this test while immersed in our 'talk, talk' society, Shayne. I am with you.... x k
